In the end, they were let go and will be out of a job....My property taxes went down....
Whoa! Your property taxes "went down"? If you're actually paying less than last year, you are mighty fortunate. You would be, in fact, the only person I've heard or seen say that. It's easy to be satisfied that others are out of work when things are going your way, isn't it?

Stop making such a gross misrepresentation of my statements. Stating that my property taxes went down and that there were budgets in my school districts does not equal “Yeehaw! Damn sorry-ass teachers are out of a job!” That’s just assinine.

Housing values fell in Texas overall. When the assessed value of a property falls, so do property taxes because those taxes are assessed by a percentage of the assessed value. So I’m not the only one in Texas whose property taxes decreased.
